Backing Up the Remoteboot Database

The remoteboot database holds the configuration, workstation, and profile records and other data for the Remoteboot service. You should back up the database before and after you make significant changes and save the copies. The Remoteboot service automatically backs up the database every 24 hours (counting from when you start the service).

Because the Remoteboot service makes automatic backups (overwriting the current backup copies), and for good administrative procedure, you should occasionally archive copies of the backup files.

To back up the remoteboot database

· On the Configure menu of Remoteboot Manager, click Backup Database.

The Jet.log, Rplsvc.mdb, and System.mdb files are backed up to the <systemroot>\Rpl\Backup directory.

To restore a backup copy of the remoteboot database

· Copy the files from <systemroot>\Rpl\Backup (or other saved versions of the files) to the Rpl directory.

In the event of an emergency (such as a corrupted database), the Remoteboot service restores automatically from the <systemroot>\Rpl\Backup directory.
